Description: Antique Chinese Camphor Wood Statue Deva King Dhrtarastra 魔礼海 Mo Li Hai, Guardian of East Circa: Late Qing, 19th Century H. 28 in. (71cm) X W. 10 in. (25cm) X D. 10 in. (25cm) Minor cracks, paint loss, aged condition! U.S. FedEx Ground Shipping Only This centuries-old spectacular carving of the Guardian of the East, Dhrtarastra 魔礼海 (Japanese: Jikokuten 持國天王), stands on Mount Meru the sacred five-peak mountain, his right leg thrust forth, hands playing the Chinese pipa, in the course of converting mortals to the divine realm of consciousness. The spiritual warrior is exceedingly well-carved. He wears a Tibetan-style ritual helmet, cloaked in ornate cuirass, a taotie-headed belt, protective leg armors and high boots, flanked with a long sash flowing around him, his fiercely bulging eyes anchored in a dignified look of mythical countenance with unwavering intensity sweeping with force. Once beautifully gilded and painted in polychrome, This remarkably well-preserved camphor wood statue has a darkened patina. Besides flaking pigments and a couple of small crack lines, the Heavenly Warrior radiates an aura of timelessness with a sweet herbal aroma.
